Between the Buried and Me brought it to the table, again. In Colors everything kind of went in different musical directions through-out the album, but don't get me wrong it was a great album, obviously. The Great Misdirect brings out instant recongnization of BTBAM , each song has it's own flow and emphasis in the sound of each song, it's ***ing amazing. The lyrics really get you thinking. In the past you could relate to the songs easily, i.e. Roboturner. But this album really pushes the meanings, Obfuscation being about brains, Fossil Genera being about the Freemasons or some ***. The uniqueness BTBAM has in the songs are so recongnizable, you can tell each song apart from one another, nothing sounds the same in almost any aspect. Swim to the Moon is an epic song but it could probably have ended 8-9 minutes earlier, and the ending sort of disappointed me at first, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Yet another classic, genre defying album from BTBAM. Go out and buy this, now. |
